The real history of Henry from Bro. Tim:
Actually, I started working on ventriloquism in the year 2000. “Henry” arrived in the mail on October 31, 2000 (scary, huh?). I had trouble moving my lips anyway because of the accident, so this actually helped me get started. I borrowed a ventriloquism course from Ed Dunlop which was a great help. I had done an “old man” skit during the time that I was camp staff, so decided to use a form of this voice for the character. The Lord gave me the idea for the original character of an “old-time preacher” that sometimes falls asleep while he’s preaching. The name for “Henry” came from an old church skit called: “The Pillars of the Assembly” where the two main characters were “Henry” & “Doris”. The skits with “Henry” always pulls a few gags, but usually leads to some kind of spiritual lesson.
